Oh hey remember yesterday when I was worried about my exposure possibility skyrocketing? Well we are in the Covid hell now. My mom had two positive rapid tests at work last night that she took because her throat felt scratchy. She's trying to get a regular test today or tomorrow to confirm. FUCK.

After multiple offers we are accepting an offer for double digits over asking price and the buyers don't want to close until end of Feb which is absolutely perfect for our timeline. And no contingencies other than home inspection! 🍾 What an emotional roller coaster these past 4 days have been. I'm screaming inside my heart right now, the good kind of screaming.

Dear Target, I love you but wtf is this bullshit. Two of the things on the "gifts for boys" picture are currently in my closet for M for Christmas. And J would be thrilled with that "girl" keyboard.

milano like, on one hand it's good they're not just advertising pink things for girls, but on the other hand, why even have two categories? Like, just have categories for age groups, or for types of toys.

I love that they have her in the “boy category”. Doesn’t even make sense 😂

milano, I heard that cat piano is super annoying. Like it can play in "meow" tones and it meows if you leave it alone for too long. Just a warning. P would love but...NO

M’s tooth is super wiggly (first one), so today I finally went to the bank for some dollar coins and made her a tooth pillow. Yay for procrastinating! I hope it comes out today, the whole thing is pretty gross.

P would love but...NO I don't have that cat piano, but I had a cat piano app pre-children (I have no idea why). As far as I could tell it was real cat meows because it would drive my cats CRAZY. There was one particular meow that sounded like a cat fight and my "protector cat" would be jumping from window to window trying to figure out where the fight was. We stopped using it because it wasn't kind.

I feel like Target tries SO hard to drop the gender norms that I'm always surprised when they mess up (and they keep doing that too).

My Christmas shopping is done though and also I've ordered decor for my new house that is currently being used to 'stage'' my old house but I don't want to waste this opportunity for savings!

But they had expanded and were too big to fit in the mouth of the bottle. And then didn't dissolve properly. They may be been a year ish old

I have had to shove a few of mine in, they seemed like they had maybe gotten a bit of moisture and expanded but I think they dissolved just fine and worked as normal.

I have a virtual (facetime) moving quote consult in a few minutes. Facetime calls are awkward even with people you know, can't wait to see how awkward I am on this call with a stranger. And I'm sure my kids will be well-behaved and not be dying to know "who are you talking to?! who is that man?! I want to show him my toys! What is his favorite paw patrol character?!" I threatened them, but ya know. No one listens to me. Can't wait!
ETA we are also getting a dumpster delivery today and while I don't plan on getting anywhere close to the delivery guy, I still have to shout to him to tell him where to put the dumpster and of course he will show up in the middle of my moving consult because that is how life is.

Update: it went fine, minus my spotty internet connection in the garage (life in the sticks). I don't have this quote yet but we got one last week from another company and man alive, moving can be $$$$$$$. They quoted me $18,000 to pack and move all our stuff! I was like "I don't like my stuff that much to justify paying that price, thanks!". We have a 2.5 month overlap where we have possession of both houses so have plenty of time and the ability to take a couple trailerloads of stuff ourselves, which will cut down on the cost significantly. But trying to figure it all out is confusing.

But trying to figure it all out is confusing. We had overlap as well. So we packed up and brought all of our boxes. Then we hired movers to handle the furniture and appliances. It was much cheaper that way. Although I don’t know how far your drive is, so they will probably charge for that too.

It was much cheaper that way. Although I don’t know how far your drive is, so they will probably charge for that too. That is what I am thinking - if they move all the actual furniture and heavier/awkward boxes, we could handle the lightweight and easy stuff. I'm thinking I would rather them pack up my ktichen because I think they will do a better job than me of protecting it all. Plus, if we move early enough we can just be like "fill up the truck and whatever doesn't fit we will handle ourselves", and have them take all the heavy stuff first. So many options. I just don't want to actually be loading and unloading much because a) I am sick of moving and b) I have the back of an 80 year old now, and MH's isnt' great either. And it will be in Jan/Feb which weather-wise isn't bad at our new house but could be a snowstormy icestorm clusterfuck here - ya never know! ETA: it is a 6 hour drive so that definitely drives up the cost.
